Count Mi1kiewlcz and the Imperial Chinese
Envoy. Ma KEN Chang, and suite left San Fran
cisco last evening for Washington, where they
will present to Secretary Bayard mportant auto
graph letters from the Viceroy, Lii Hung Chang.
These letters refer to the enterprises which
number of American capitalists havs been me-
gotiatng for in the Chinese Empire. The let
ters are bunglesome and curouS things They
are enclosed in ENVELOPES foot fpng and about
six inches wide, with the imperial seal of Vice
roy Lii Hung Chang as High Commissioner for
Trade and Secretary of State. In these letters
the Viceroy tells OF his desire to have China be-
come closer affiliated to the United States aud
hopes for long continuance OF the present
bonds of friendship. He says that in order
partially do this he has granted valuable con-

Mr. Barker has little to say OF these conces-

roy's concessions that national and inter-
national amalgamated bank is to be formed
under imperial charter, which gives the
Americans aud a few natives of China who
interested the sole and exclusive rights as far
regards the Chinese imperial and provincial gov
ernments
Under the charter the bank is to be supplied
by America and China with capital of 80, 000,-
900 taes, in proportions to be fixed hereafter, but
the larger share to be mainly American. It

1t will have the sole right to coin money. 1t

arsenals, naves aud public works.
Another and one of the m ost important of the
schemes is the reported intention of the syndi-
cate to take the existing telegraph lines
and to have the exclusive right for fifty years to
manipulate telephones. The Chinese Commits
sioner will confer with Mr.. Barker while in
Washington. and Mr.. Barker will probably go
to China to ratfy the agreement.

THE New York Herald publishes an inter-
view with Congressman Matson in which he
comes out strong for Governor Gray for Vice

THE records of crime sometimes present a
touch of pathos that almost ELECTS sympathy.
A notorious criminal of Ohio who had served
several terms in the penitentiary, and was
hunted from post to pillar, found the other
morning dead on his mothers grave in a village
cemetery, whittier he had fed from his pursuers
to end his life by suicide. The strange impulse
that led him from his haunts of crime to do this
at the grave of his mother might have sprung
from some struggling emotion of nature not
wholly depraved
